"Uralkali" JSC: Response to the operation of the benchtop system of rolling bearings vibration analysis COMPACS-RPP

In June 2004 "Uralkali" JSC implemented the system COMPACS^®-RPP. 100% of all supplied to the plant bearings were subjected to the acceptance test.

In 2005 over 15,000 bearings were inspected. Percentage of defect was 27,05%. In 2006 over 28,000 bearings were inspected. Bearings that failed the acceptance test were returned to the supplier for change. Due to that the percentage of defective bearings reduced to 8,67%.

The advantages of COMPACS^®-RPP include the following:

• high speed
• low requirements to the staff skills
• industrial design that ensures high reliability
• fully automatic workflow, the operator has just to set the bearing and start the process of diagnostics.

The use of the system allowed to exclude the omission of low-quality bearings in the production and, consequently, improve the reliability and extend the life of equipment in operation.

The economic effect of the system COMPACS^®-RPP implementation at repair production amounted several hundreds of thousands rubles.
